System 47
Dec 31 2007

LEESA  Don't use this with Leopard!

When I used the installer that came with this it changed the name of my Desktop Folder to "system47.saver" and made it into an application. Scared the crap out of me because all my files that had been on the desktop disappeared. I had to find the file that used to be my Desktop, Show Contents, change permissions to get them out of there, put the saver/desktop folder in the trash and Restart to get a new Desktop folder.

Sheesh.

Why does a screensaver need an installer script anyway??! I know where to put screensavers.

MailTags
Nov 29 2007

LEESA  I bought and loved this app when I was using Tiger. Now that I'm using Leopard the only thing I purchased it for is gone: todos. I loved being able to sort my inbox by due dates as well as being able to rename the subject of those items. I mainly used it for sorting ebills.

The todos Leopard Mail offers are useless for me, I never wanted to have to have another window open to see my todo items. And until Apple offers a way to sort by todos in the inbox, I almost don't see the point.

Developers: please bring back this functionality in MailTags! I feel like I spent the money for nothing. :(

LEESA  He wasn't making a "derogatory" remark, just warning people that it doesn't play well with a popular application. And it was specifically mentioned that all one had to do was add FF to ape's exclude list so it wouldn't be a problem.

What's the big deal?

HierarchicalDock
Nov 19 2007

LEESA  I restarted my computer and it seems to have resolved 2 issues:

one click of the icon in the Dock brings up the menu.

and the hidden files are gone too.

but I still have the color profile changing and no flyouts of aliased folders.

Those problems are minor for me though, the one I have the biggest problem with is that clicking on a folder in the menu brings up the folder *containing* that folder, i.e. if I select Music in the menu what actually opens is m Home folder, which contains the Music folder.

LEESA  I have the same problems with this Richard mentioned: I'd like aliases to open out the same as actual folders. Also, I think selecting a folder from the menu to open that folder, not its containing folder...

It would be great if I could just press and hold the folder in in the dock to have the menu pop up, rather than having to click while pressing the Option key.

I also wish that hidden files didn't show up in the menus.

Something else that's just strange, rather than a real problem is that it seems that my color profile temporarily changes when the menu is being accessed.

Other than that this is great. I was using OldFolder but you can only have one folder at a time in the dock with that one.

AMCAN12  Why you need to press any key when clicking on folder dock to get menu?

Did you try a single left click yet?

LEESA  Excellent!

For everyone who finds stacks fairly useless and misses browsing through hierarchical menus from the dock, this app solves the problem.

I just double clicked the OldFolder icon and it asked me which folder I'd like to have in the dock. Now my Home folder is back in the dock where it belongs and working as it did in Tiger.

Thank you!

MACUPDATE ADMIN  Well, the download was available when I posted this software, because I downloaded it. Checked the developer's site for a new link but the link on the developer site is the same as the one here and is broken.

Journler
Sep 21 2007
***..

LEESA  I'd love to give this 5 stars but due to performance issues I just can't.

In theory Journler has everything I want BUT its really wonky and unstable for me.

I wanted to use it to be able to insert pictures into a single entry and put notes next to them- but when I did so it kept switching the inline images that were in the entry with other images from the same post. When I'd click on an image it would bring up a larger version of a different image altogether- seems it was losing the link information.

I didn't want to create a separate "entry" for every image I imported into the program... though that seemed to work fine when I did do that.

Also, when I tried to select multiple images in the Finder and drag them into an entry it could not maintain the links to the original images, clicking them in the entry brought up a blank window.

Another thing I didn't like was that the preferences and help file seemed to suggest that media (images) would be left in place on my harddrive and merely linked to, when in actuality they were being copied into the Application Support folder for Journler. I'd hoped they'd be left where the were on my harddrive and linked to, not copied. What bloat!

Overall the app was unstable, freezing, quiting and also needing to be restarted to reflect my preferences changes.

I love the concept of this program and I'll download a new version once these kinks have been worked out.
